I love these old advertisements. BTW, even in late and mid 80's, there were adverts on the Spanish Reader's Digest on courses about computers. I rememember showing images of both PDP front panels and maybe Altair 8800, not IBM PC's. These were top notch stuff for big corporations and banks filling their offices.
BTW, on the 'computadora' term, these looked outdated, and to anyone non-Latin American descent here 'computadora' would mean an old IBM mainframe the size of two wardrobes and more.
- pantulis 2y agoI remember those things being called "cerebros electrónicos".
- anthk 2y agoMore like the 60's and 70's, and infamously known because of the comic books. "Electronic Brains" in the 80's, maybe until 1981 or 1982.
- pantulis 2y agoI think it was like the 80 or 81 that my dad referred to the computer in their company as "el cerebro electrónico" and it was a IBM System/34.
- anthk 2y agoYeah, what I said. After the IBM PC began to root in Spain (and micros like the ZX Spectrum), no one used neither cerebro electrónico nor computadora.
